For our project we've chosen to create a music video for the song 'Friends' by the band 'Eliza and the Bear'
Eliza and the Bear’ (formed 2011) are a five-piece Alt-Indie/Rock outfit from London. The band recorded their debut EP with the much-acclaimed producer Peter Miles (King Blues, Dry the River) at Middle Farm Studios, Devon.
what we liked about both the song and the band is their modern 'indie' feel that we felt would be easy to create and do justice to with the technology that we have available to us.
to get inspiration for this video I have looked at (and will be analysing in further blogs!) several of the other music videos the band has already created for other song.
This is brother's boat, another song by the band. It has a simplistic feel but also look professional and successfully represents the lyrics- a key convention of any music video. they have water streaming with the lyrics 'let it go' and the video is a mixture of concept and performance based clips that are predominantly close ups.
This Video is for 'Up the North' what I noticed about these two music videos is that they are both very similar with the concept/performance stance and they have the3 same 'rustic'/'edgy' feeling to them which it seems important to create in our music video as it's carried through out their current representation.
For this we've decided to film in the woods and have the band represented as woodland creatures travelling to meet each other, they'll then meet in a clearing and we'll have a montage of clips of them together cut together with them performing which will hopefully create a similar feeling/ representation to the one the band currently holds.
